The Saffron Sliver

When Marcus and I moved into the old farmhouse on the outskirts of Maple Hollow, I chalked up the unease to the chipping paint and the way the floorboards groaned....

The Last Commute

Marta had always prided herself on her routine. The 5 a.m. alarm, the quiet exercise, the shower that woke her more than the coffee ever did, and the 6:30 departure...

The Hollow Tap

The first time I heard it, I thought a branch had snapped loose in the storm and slapped against my window. But that night, the sky was clear, and the...

The Iron Gate’s Debt

In the waning days of October, I took my usual shortcut through the old municipal cemetery, a sprawling acreage of weathered headstones and leaning monuments that had been a part...

The Salted Earth

The year was 2008, and I had just turned nineteen. I was a recent high school graduate with no plans, no job, and a restless mind. My mother, a woman...
